HTTP Header Identity Propagator
Description
An identity propagator that sets a HTTP header to an Airlock Gateway (WAF) mapping using the control API.

This propagator only works together with the Airlock Gateway. Using the control API (control cookie), this identity propagator plugin stores one or more HTTP headers with information selected from the authentee (username, roles, context-data) or statically configured values in the Airlock header. Each header can be stored on one or more specific Gateway mappings or on all mappings. Airlock then appends HTTP header(s) to back-end requests of the corresponding mapping(s) so the back-end(s) can use it/them.
